"Obesity is a disease not a decision"
This is a new campaign that the American Medical Association actually declared obesity a disease! Billboards with this phrase are popping up around the country.
I've worked out for 10 years straight and I definitely sacrifice eating shit food even though I enjoy it just as much as the next guy. THIS IS A DECISION I HAVE CONSCIOUSLY MADE. http://posttrib.suntimes.com/news/da...n-disease.html Discuss.... |

I bet I could. Easily. I love those little Entemanns donuts, and each bag is like 2k calories. Three of those, plus my regular food would easily get me there, because its mostly fat. Now, eating a "clean" 8-10k calories is totally different.

Odd coincidence that this thread showed up now. Yesterday, I finally decided to get serious. The last 7 or 8 years I've been at least 50 pounds overweight (now probably about 70 pounds). I'd make half-hearted attempts at losing weight, I briefly did well with a low-carb diet but the lack of variety led me to fail that diet, and I never exercised more than a month.
Now, my knees are starting to hurt and I'm having trouble sleeping. I think thats all the motivation I needed, it feels real now. I'm aiming for losing 40 and getting under 205 by the end of the year with a high protein somewhat-low carb diet and exercise. I think obesity could theoretically be a disease if someone has some kind of bona-fide "food addiction", but I think thats rare. Most overweight people are either terrified of hunger (not realizing that occasional mild hunger is normal and healthy), eat out of boredom, or just don't care.

The shit these companies put in our food is causing people to blow up. On the other hand these obese people know just about every food that comes in a brown paper bag or is commercially packaged w/ preservatives etc is bad for you and they continue to eat it because it doesn't give them nutrients their bodies need it just temporarily satisfies their brain into thinking they're not hungry anymore, until they get hungry again just a couple hrs later and their body's trained to want that kind of food. That's why some people eat fast food everyday.

It was 1993 and I WISH I had a picture to prove my point... but I don't. KCFalcon59 could confirm this. He knows me as well as anyone especially then. YES I was a shredded beast. VERY proportional as well. My biggest downfall then was working for Coca Cola and working 16 hours a day and my eating habbits and exercise were f**ked.

I've been eating like a vegan for the past 9 days and I'm down 10.2lbs.
Actually, I'm more eating like a Veganazi. Because, I've had no soda, no sweets, no processed foods, no dairy, no meat... I'm doing it to retrain my body and flush the cholesterol out of my system... I'll always be a carnivore... but in less amounts. Eating vegan for 30 days is more of a discipline mindset and taking control over food, instead of the other way around. I work at a computer desk all day, so I had to stop mindlessly "fog eating"... All of the meals that I've had so far, have been beyond delicious. Yesterday at Worlds of Fun all day, was tough... but luckily, there was a PandaExpress. |

A small percentage of obese people are that way due to overactive thyroids, the majority are that way due to pure laziness and lack of self-discipline.
Just another PC sham perpetrated by an organization that should definitely know better. |

We all know where this is leading don't we? To fats being protected as a "disadvantaged" class, with government protections. Anti-disrimination stuff. Probably allow them to sit in the handicap seats at stadiums and park in the handicap spots. And we all know which political party will go after them with this line of thinking.

There is enough salt in one meal to dry up 58,023,123 slugs.
